Yes I did get to my 7 poems and more. I will try another concerted poetry week again. I learn that if I apply myself after a couple of tries, I come to one that sings , yes!

This week I took a dialogue workshop for the local Writers' group for two hours on Monday evening. You know the adage that teaching helps you learn more- it does! It has a way of defining those nebulous thoughts and concepts into practical examples for others to learn.

We talked about purposes for dialogue:- emotion-character development-plot development-pace-intrigueWe looked at examples from different genres and tag lines- he chided, she blurted etc were out- body language the big revealing secret.It was a fun night and reminded me how much I love to teach (and to learn).
